This PSUP consists of a total renovation of the security systems which when complete, will exceed the capabilities of the existing labor intensive manual system. It includes the following:
Installation of redundant high speed, high capacity state of the art security computer system.
New vital area (VA) door cardreadet n.h Local Intelligence Units (LIUs), which contain microprocessors capable of controlling access to doors should a loss of communication with the security computer occur.
Biometrics recognition system using handgeometry to perform identification of a security badge holder prior to admittance to the PA. This redundant stand alone system provides the ability to perform access control should a loss of communication with the security computer occur.
New protected area (PA) perimeter fencing and state of the art intrusion detection systern (IDS),
consisting of E-Field, Infrared, Microwave, E-Flex, and Optimesh.
New closed circuit television system (CCTV) consisting of high resolution solid state caracras with automatic call up, pan tilt and zoom, and video recording capabilities.
New uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
New Access Control Portal (ACP).
New vehicle sally port.
Upgraded central and secondary alarm st::tions (CAS/SAS).
Upon completion ofinstallation of this $37 million plus upgrade, TVAN will no longer rely on a large armed security force to compensate for antiquated security systems, but can replace compensatory omcers with technology installed by the PSUP that will exceed existing capabilities. Examples of some measures that will no longer be required are as follows:
Armed ACP omcer and armed administrative control omccrs will be replaced by unarmed omccrs based on the security upgrade and that these omeets are not required to be armed by 10 CFR 73.55, NUREG-0908, and NUREG-1045. This change does not reduce the number of armed responders committed to in this plan.
Additional armed plant foot patrols and armed administrative control omccrs to compensate for outdated VA door hardware will be replaced with new VA cardreaders, electromagnetic loc ks and LIUs.
Security badge issue omccrs will be replaced with handgeometry readers at PA portal.
Additional CAS/SAS operators manually !ogging alarms to compensate for outdated systern replaced with automated paperless system.
TVAN Security is prepared to submit a Revision 0 Security Plan to support operation of the new s>1tems installed under the PSUP. Changes under this plan meet the requirements for submittal under 10 CFR 50.54 (p), as they do not reflect reductions in levels of security commitments or take exceptions to current regulatory requirements. Revision 0 changes reformat the plan to create a more user friendly redue:d volume document, eliminate redundancy and the identification of resisions affected by the PSUP.
